Anyone that notices the pbe update would take note of Swain getting a snazzy new base splash art. Normally, this isn't a big deal; however there are enough differences in it and his actual current design that could get some to believe, namely myself, that perhaps his visual update isn't so far off as Riot would have us believe. Let's be honest; Swain needs the visual update. The Texture update was a nice start, however the way Swain moves is stiff and boring, his bird's beak is far too large, and his bird forms could all use a little more love, save for Tyrant, which is just mmmm beautiful! Thoughts?

I believe it was mentioned recently (during a discussion regarding when will we see a new Swain skin) that no Swain VU has been slotted for the near future.

I'll try to find the comment.

It does look quite similar to this fan-made VU thats been floating around. One can only hope

Maybe, but for the past year Riot's been using the whole" splash art looks way better than the model" thing.

He could use a VU, his model is pretty outdated (especially Beatrice).

He did get a text update by the way. (Or rebalance I guess.)

He really does need a VU, but I think that it will either be like Anivia a while back, that she gets a new Splash Art but no Vu, or like the Irelia splash art, teased for a year, but never put in action. But I really really really hope for a VU

he could use some kit changes as well if you ask me. His concept is great ( master tactician) but his kit is quite boring to use.

It's happened before with Urgot, Caitlyn, Kog'Maw and Shen and perhaps a few others, and they did not get any VUs of some sorts aside from Texture Rebalances after the splashes were released, so I wouldn't expect much. :P

BUT, I freaking love this new Swain splash. I hope that it will make it into the game sooner than later. :D
